A fresh, provocative history that renews our understanding of
France in the world through short, incisive essays ranging from
prehistoric frescoes to Coco Chanel to the terrorist attacks of
2015. Bringing together an impressive group of established and
up-and-coming historians, this bestselling history conceives of
France not as a fixed, rooted entity, but instead as a place and an
idea in flux, moving beyond all borders and frontiers, shaped by
exchanges and mixtures. Presented in chronological order from
34,000 BC to 2015, each chapter covers a significant year from its
own particular angle - the marriage of a Viking leader to a
Carolingian princess proposed by Charles the Fat in 882, the
Persian embassy's reception at the court of Louis XIV in 1715, the
Chilean coup d'etat against President Salvador Allende in 1973 that
mobilised a generation of French left-wing activists. France in the
World combines the intellectual rigour of an academic work with the
liveliness and readability of popular history. With a brand-new
preface aimed at an international audience, this English-language
edition will inspire Francophiles and scholars alike.
